I bet everyone on this board has been cheated by an unscupulous dealer at least once, and probably more than they would like to admit. I don't think anyone has a problem with the card being sold, just with the information that's not being provided. I bought a large collection of 1960's paper machie nodders a few years ago for a little over 14,000. A few months later I was informed by a friend that about half of them had been expertly restored, which of course destroys there value. I have sold all of these nodders for about a tenth of what I paid, because I included a description of the restoration.
52 Mantle cards , even trimmed are rare and desirable items. I think you might still recoup alot of your investment by listing the item as trimmed.
I don't know you Dr Koos,but I would think the money isn't as important as your integrity.
